Central Garage in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 14% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 14% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,043/mo (2024)	$1,310/mo	$1,070 to $1,590/mo	+3.8%
Median household income	$87,750 (2024)	$108,000	$91,500 to $128,000	+3.6%
Median home value	$294,000 (2024)	$415,000	$301,000 to $571,000	+5.9%

The median home would be worth 3.8 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.4 now.
